Preview — Home Economics Season 2 Episode 21: Book Deal, Terms Negotiable

Rhys Darby guest stars on Home Economics Season 2 Episode 21, “Book Deal, Terms Negotiable.”

Darby, fresh off the pirate boat of Our Flag Means Death, plays a publisher interested in Tom’s novel who invites himself to family brunch. This is a big deal for Tom so, of course, he is going to spiral and probably act a hot mess. Luckily, he’s got his loving family there for support. 

Darby is an unexpected choice for this role, but his comedic talent and impeccable delivery means we can expect a lot of laughs. I look forward to his interactions with… well, every character, to be honest. 

While Tom is in panic mode, Sarah and Marina try to help Connor in the romance department. On Home Economics Season 2 Episode 20, “Mango THC Gummies, $18,” June Diane Raphael guest-starred as Windmount Academy’s vice-principal and a potential new love interest for Connor, who has been having trouble moving on after his breakup with Denise’s sister, JoJo (Tetona Jackson).

I was thrilled to see Raphael cast as a character deliciously and delightfully similar to Grace and Frankie‘s Brianna Hanson, and with Darby on this, the penultimate episode of Season 2, Home Economics gives us back-to-back casting perfection.

It should be fun and, most likely, chaotic—complete with a silly string fight, apparently—but we wouldn’t want it any other way.
